A traditional affogato is an Italian dessert made from a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream topped with a warm shot of rich espresso.  One of my favorite go-to desserts, especially for a dinner party, I decided to make an ‘after dinner’ version with a shot of chilled espresso vodka instead of warm espresso, and a dusting of espresso powder on top.  Come to think of it, another unique topping would be a handful of crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans or Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
